How to be safer: Use a new condom for every partner or orifice. Wash toys after (and/or before) use. Safest: Keep a separate toy for each partner and yourself.

Cleaning sex toys: Porous toys (made from jelly, rubber, PVC, vinyl, or Cyberskin) can be cleaned (with soap and water) but not completely disinfected. Always use a condom with porous toys. Nonporous toys (made from silicone, acrylic, glass or metal) can be disinfected:

• Silicone: hot water and anti-bacterial soap, sex toy cleaner, diluted bleach solution (10:1 water-to-bleach), boiled for 5-10 minutes
• Acrylic: hot water and anti-bacterial soap, diluted bleach solution (dry with soft cloth, paper towel can scratch them)
• Glass: hot water and anti-bacterial soap, diluted bleach solution, alcohol
• Metal and other materials: see manufacturer’s instructions.

Also

• Make sure that DIY sex toys are safe by ensuring they are not brittle, do not have sharp edges and are able to be cleaned easily and often
